Happy studying ladies and Good luck. I wanted to say thanks for always being so kind and inviting me to the study sessions. I am sorry that I don’t come. I always feel like I will just hold you ladies back as y’all seem to grasp and understand this crap more so than myself. I don’t want to hold you guys back in study session bc I am not doing as well in this class as far as memorizing and understanding. I hope that explains why I have been absent in the study groups. Good luck on exam 3 and not sure if there is already a sixth person in your group for the 6 person test but if not I would be honored to be your number 6. 🙂 Y’all talk about it and get back to me if you already have a 6th person I understand. Hope these help you guys some like they have me. ~Katie Salyer~ |
